Another HTC Thunderbolt update on the horizon

The Thunderbolt's latest update brings minor software improvements.

Those still wielding an HTC Thunderbolt can expect a new update soon from Verizon. Labeled version 7.02.605.10, this update weighs in at a scant 19.3MB. Although not as groundbreaking as the recent Ice Cream Sandwich update, new software improvements are always a plus. Among the improved features are the microphone, text messaging app, email, HTC Watch, and newly visible amber alerts.

Reports of users receiving this update have yet to come out. If you're one of the first, let us know in the forums.

Yes, at this point in time (over 8 years on Verizon) I am confident that almost all delayed/nonexistent updates are at fault to Verizon themselves for delaying or outright holding updates from being released at all.

It's been something that has been ongoing for years now, and with my Galaxy Note 2 I am finally confident to make the call that it is in fact Verizon's fault. Why? Every single other variant of the Galaxy Note 2 has received an update to 4.1.2, save for the Verizon Note 2. I mean, every. Single. Variant. We on Verizon are dead last, and still waiting.

At this point, it's 2 + 2 for me. If it weren't for my unlimited LTE I'd be long gone.

Um, no, software updates to the Thunderbolt are NOT always a good thing. It was software updates that introduced just about every single issue the Thunderbolt ever had. Remember spontaneous reboots? Thank you, HTC update. Random data drops? Thank you, HTC update. This phone would have been much better left completely alone.
